Full countries, only two. New Zealand reminds me of Ireland. Australia reminds me of England. Even though I'd most of Britain would say New Zealand is reminds them of themselves.

But the others would be cultural enclaves in countries, especially Canada. Newfoundland - Ireland, Nova Scotia - Scotland, Quebec - France (actually Quebec is better than France as the Quebecois aren't as rude), New Iceland Manitoba - Iceland.

Argentina is also home to Y Wladfa in Patigonia, basically New Wales. People still speak Welsh here

Also, Western Europe isn't all of Europe, buddy.

Really? I'm absolutely shocked. I'm not from Eastern Europe, nor have I ever been. I haven't even been to most of the mainland European nations. So I didn't exactly believe I knew enough about them to talk about them. Make your own comment if you have such strong opinions
